Chapter 765 I Stay

Youjing Linshuo Palace.

Late autumn has arrived, and the red leaves in the middle of the mountain are red outside the palace, which is really beautiful.

On the star-gazing pavilion on the rockery in the harem garden, Li Zhiwan and Jian Xue, master and servant, were sitting in the pavilion.

Li Zhiwan was wearing a fox fur and resting her chin, admiring the autumn scenery, while Jian Xuedao was pouting, his face full of displeasure, and he was muttering while cooking tea beside Li Zhiwan.

"Your Majesty, this Youjing is really lonely. It's not as good as Chang'an and Taiyuan. It's cold and has no fun. You can't go out of the palace casually. In the past, on your birthday, people who came to pay respects and give gifts almost broke the threshold of our mansion. , the prince and King Qi have congratulatory gifts every year, I still remember that the prince invited the best hundred operas in Chang'an during the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

Li Zhiwan looked at the red leaves in the middle of the mountain and said lightly: "Then why don't I stay and you go back to Chang'an first?"

Jian Xue pouted and said, "Miss, I'll just complain, I can't live without people complaining."

Li Zhiwan explained Hu Qiuyi: "I will comfort you, who will comfort me? Since entering the palace, I have been at odds with the empress. This empress is worthy of being the princess of the previous dynasty, and her methods are really powerful, and she does not need to do it deliberately. What. The people of the sixth house are also much colder to me."

Jian Xue lowered her head and said, "Miss, you abandoned Chang'an, your relatives, betrayed the Li family, and married the emperor, have you ever regretted it?"

Li Zhiwan turned her head and said: "I have told you several times, I chose this path, so why talk about regrets."
After hearing Li Zhiwan's words, Jian Xue giggled and then lowered her head. After Li Chongjiu left, the master and servant were idle and bored every day, but they bickered like this every day.After bickering, Li Zhiwan looked at the red leaves in the middle of the mountain, and Jian Xue continued to cook tea.

"This is Jiangnan Fragrant Tea specially ordered by His Majesty after he captured Jiangdu." Jian Xue said with a smile.
Li Zhiwan took the tea bowl and was taking a sip when there was the sound of chaotic footsteps in the palace, accompanied by the clang and clang of armor.

Li Zhiwan has been in the army for a long time, and she knew what happened when she heard the hurried footsteps of this soldier, she immediately stood up in cloaked clothes, but she saw a team of court guards from Linshuo Palace rushing towards the pavilion.

The leading generals of the Tingwei kowtowed to Li Zhiwan and said, "I would like to tell my mother that I will be ordered to come here to protect my mother to Youjing City."

Li Zhiwan asked: "What makes you panic?"

The general of the Tingwei said: "Reporting to my mother, 20 Turkic cavalry invaded the territory, bypassed Huaihuang, the second town of Yuyi, broke through the defense of the Great Wall, and have already attacked Senei."

Just after this person finished speaking, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Li Zhiwan's expression, but seeing that she was very calm, without a trace of fear, he thought to himself, this noble concubine is really amazing, this calm demeanor seems to be a little bit Nor did he take the 20 Turkic cavalry into consideration.

The general guessed from the bottom of his heart who this lady was from, but he still said: "Right now, there is a war outside the city of Youjing. Linshuo Palace was built outside the city of Youjing. When the Turks attacked last time, a fierce battle broke out here. , so the Empress invites the Imperial Concubine to take shelter in the city for a while."

"Okay, I'll go with you, lead the way!"

"Do you want to bring any valuables?"

Li Zhiwan said: "No need, the military situation is like fire, if you can, you can lend your weapons to our master and servant, at least you can defend yourself in times of chaos."

The general was taken aback for a moment, seeing that the other party was not joking, he immediately said: "Yes, I will do it accordingly."

From Linshuo Palace to the north gate of Youjing City, there are scenes of wars and horses everywhere on the broken road for several miles.

The beacon towers erected on the rolling mountain peaks far away from Youjing set off long smoke one after another.The soaring wolf smoke broke through the tranquility near Youjing and awakened the peaceful people.The Turkic cavalry has not yet arrived, but it seems that the piercing sound of horseshoes has stepped on everyone's heart.

Li Zhiwan looked at the people around Youjing, old and young, supporting each other. Countless people waved their arms, calling for children and daughters in the crowd.Outside the city, the county soldiers wearing leather armor were maintaining order, and there were many powerful descendants of Yanzhao armed with knives and guns and riding horses, as if they were going to fight the Turks.

The people in the vicinity of Youjing under the city came to avoid it one after another. The grass market in Youjing was larger than that of Huaihuang Town, but it was not protected by the city walls of Huaihuang Town.However, the population gathered outside Youjing City has exceeded [-]. When they heard the news of the Turkic attack, they could only seek refuge in the city.

On the head of the northern city of Youjing City, Yang Ehuang watched the scene where the people in the city were helping each other into the city, and couldn't help but turned around and said angrily to the two prime ministers of Zhao State behind him: "You keep saying that Youjing is worry-free, and you are not afraid of Turkic invasion. , This word was still in my ears yesterday, but it has become like this today, how can you make our court feel worthy of trusting our people?"

Seeing that Emperor Yang E was angry, Wen Yanbo could only say: "Queen, this time the Turks attacked the city of Youjing again. The army of 5 to 20 collapsed so quickly. Once Tuli collapsed, it would be fine, but my prairie cavalry has [-] horses and has not returned from Shanxi. His Majesty is also in Luoyang. The army of the government is not enough to contain Jieli Khan's [-] cavalry. That's why the Turks were allowed to drive straight in."

Yang Ehuang shook his head and said: "I don't understand military affairs, it's useless for you to tell me these things, you just need to tell me whether Youjing can be held? Wen Aiqing, I don't need you to say nice things, Wei Zheng, come here Said, even if you speak bluntly, no matter how bad the result is, I can bear it."

Both Wen Yanbo and Wei Zheng lowered their heads.

Wei Zheng was expressionless, and immediately said: "Your Majesty Nanzheng has transferred away the Wuwei Army, Yiwei Army, and Tingwei Army. There are not many troops in the city who can fight. This time is different from the last Turkic invasion. The last Turkic invasion, we have already Take precautions, so although the situation is dangerous, there is no big worry, but this time, you will be caught off guard. According to Weichen, I am afraid that Youjing will not be able to defend."

"Do you mean to abandon Youjing?" Yang Ehuang asked, she looked at the tens of thousands of people who were about to enter the city and asked Wei Zheng.

"Of course not," Wei Zheng straightened his back, and said solemnly, "Qi Queen, I have an old bone, and there is nothing to regret, so I decided to bring my family of more than [-] people to live and die with Youjing City. But the Queen doesn't have to. Take the risk, I implore the queen to leave Youjing with your majesty's children, so that this humble minister can give it a go."

Yang Ehuang listened to Wei Zheng's words, nodded and looked to the north and said: "Wei Aiqing is right, Youjing City is indeed a dangerous place right now. It's a pity that Shide's sister is not in Youjing, and there is no news at all, otherwise..."

Speaking of which, Emperor Yang Ehuang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his head and said to the servant: "It's meaningless to say these things now, just follow what Wei Aiqing said, let the imperial concubine, Su nobleman, Yinger, and Caiwei leave Youjing and sit down. The ship sailed to Dengzhou for temporary shelter."
"promise."

"Queen?" Wei Zheng asked in surprise.

Yang Ehuang nodded and said: "Youjing can't be left without people, at least let the people know that my palace is also in Youjing, and they will be more settled!"
